N9005 android 5.0 L disappointment topic

Hey guys. Just installed android 5.0 on my N9005 32gb and although it works fine, haven't really found any bugs, there are things that annoy me. Firstly, even on L, I seem to still be on Dalvik Cache with no option to turn on ART (not even in developer options). Secondly, running it on UK, yet I do not have my keyboard symbols...rather unpleasant for me, to be honest.
Many things that were expected to have been in L i seem to not have ( seriously, still just ripple and watercolour lockscreens only?!)... i dont know, maybe I had too high expectations for it. But right now, especially without Xposed, i am not really impressed. What about your thoughts?

N9005 - No 4G, 99% sure not a fake, and baseband is correct [NZL] topic

Hi all,

Reluctantly asking for help as I cannot figure out how to get 4G on my note 3.

I only ever get 3g, or H+, never 4g/LTE icons. Speedtest never goes above about 6 megabit's download.

What I know:
-I am on a 4g enabled SIM
-I got 4g on my Note 2 before upgrading
-The device was bought locally (N9005, baseband N9005XXUGNG1)
-Pretty sure its not a fake (CPU-Spy shoes 2.3ghz used, about phone shows 1920x1080, flashed to temasek's CM12 without a problem, PlayStore apps say its genuine)
-No 4g either on stock NZ rom, or CM 12
-The option is set to preferred network type: LTE
-The N9005 International LTE uses 850/900/1800/1900 and Vodafone New Zealand use 1800 frequency for 4g (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2574886)

What I don't know:
-How to fix it! Can I flash a different baseband/could that be the problem?
-Is it a manufacturing fault?

Cheers
